Cylinder deactivation on a three-cylinder engine?

I don't think I understand how it works. Is the idea for the wheel to press against the skirt while steering and push it out? Not a fan of that. I'd rather use a mechanism to push.

I'm agnostic about the activating mechanism. Rollers, inner cycle fenders, complex linkages are all possible. The point is that the full skirt is lifted instead of hinged. If it hinges at the top, aerodynamic forces are largest at the end of a lever arm. And gravity can't assist recovery.
That and (like James Watts) I'm just a fan of four-bars.
